Proration Of Rate If an individual enters an ALF or AFCH after the first of the month or the individual enters and leaves the ALF/AFCH in the same month, the rate must be prorated based on the number of days the individual is in the facility/home. Note: The rate is not prorated for the month of discharge when the month of discharge is later than the month of entry.

STEPS PRORATION OF RATE PROCEDURE ACTIONS Step 1 Divide the full monthly rate by 30 to obtain the daily rate Note: 30 is the number of days used regardless of the actual number of days within the month of entry. Step 2 Multiply the daily rate by the number of days the client resided in the home Note: The number of days includes the day of entry but not discharge The result is the prorated rate for the month of entry. Step 3 Add the result to the full personal needs allowance The result is the AG limit for the month of entry.

Example 1: Mrs. Apple, an aged SSI recipient, enters ABC Home for Adults, an assisted living facility, on October 20 and applies for AG on October 24. The daily rate of $40.70 is computed by dividing the monthly rate of $ 1,221 by 30 days. Since Mrs. Apple was there 12 days in October, the prorated rate is $488.40 (12 x $40.70). $488.40 plus $82 personal needs allowance = $570.40, the AG limit for the month of October. (Client continues at the facility). Example 2:
